ABOUT US:

iota Biosciences, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astellas Pharma US, is advancing a new class of bioelectronic medicines through the development of fully implantable Class III medical devices. Our proprietary technologies opens therapeutic and diagnostic possibilities not previously accessible to clinicians.
We are currently focused on two programs: a first-of-its-kind neural interface which will transform recovery after stroke and pioneering direct bladder stimulation therapy for underactive bladder.
Together with Astellas, we are committed to patient-centric design, scientific and engineering excellence, and cross-functional teamwork. These principles guide us in bringing transformative, first-of-its-kind neurotechnologies into the clinic and closer to patients. For this role, you will join the team driving cutting-edge neurotechnology—helping to shape the design, development, and clinical translation of a first-of-its-kind neural interface system.

JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking an innovative Senior Neuroengineer to join our multidisciplinary team focused on developing clinically impactful, cutting-edge neural interfaces. In this role, you will guide the design and execution of preclinical studies while shaping therapeutic strategies through expert insight in neuromodulation and neural sensing. Your contributions will help drive the development of advanced neurotechnologies that improve patient outcomes and push the boundaries of neural engineering.
